male lechy remarks and behaviour

Relationship Problems

My chap is 55 I am 47 we have been together for 2 and a half years, however the last year or so he has been driving me mad with the comments he makes about other women, whether it be on TV or personally- I try to tell myself I am just being jealous and silly-but because I am very insecure anyway I find it chipping away at me and I conjure up all sorts of thoughts of infidelity which don't even exist-I wish he would act his age not his shoe size, he talks as if he is still packing testosterone of a 20 year old - any advice

Age not shoe size

The previous comment is dead right. But you also might think about why he has changed over the last year. It could well be that he is feeling insecure as well, about his age, and his ability to keep you, and has resorted to typical male behaviours to try to mask *his* insecurity. This doesn't mean what he is doing is OK, merely that it may give you some clues as to how you may help him stop acting out like this.

Sexual comments

I hate to say this but he is being insensitive and you are right to complain. That does not mean to say he will stop, but you feel aggrieved about this and I think if he cares for you he would want to modify this behaviour which can very easily be changed! After all if you are in a relationship together, everything that affects the relationship is important. This is definitely affecting your relationship with him.
